Judge halts rushed Leland House auction, intervening again in fight over Detroit’s historic building - Detroit Metro Times

I'm so glad this auction got put on hold . I mean, think about it, people who've been living in that building for years are gonna get screwed if they can't even afford to stay there themselves . And what's with the city not fighting for its own residents? It's like they're just letting corporate interests run roughshod over people's lives . I'm all about preserving community spaces and making sure everyone has a say in what happens next. This is more than just about saving one building - it's about recognizing that Detroiters deserve better representation .

I'm kinda surprised that DTE Energy wasn't more transparent about their intentions with that building, you know? Like, it seems pretty shady how former Mayor Mike Duggan received donations from those execs... It's all about who's got the most power and influence in Detroit right now. The Leland House auction was already a mess because of the planned parking lot deal, but this just adds to the whole picture. Tenants are fighting for their rights, but it feels like the city and corporations aren't really having each other's backs... or maybe they're just playing the long game? The halt in the auction is good news for tenants, though - at least they get some breathing room to figure out what's going on.

I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here . First, DTE Energy, who's got a history with former Mayor Mike Duggan, comes out of nowhere with this proposal to buy the Leland House? It's like they're trying to get their hands on that building and kick all those tenants to the curb . And what's up with the stalking-horse bid of $3.5 million? That's just way too much .

I don't trust DTE Energy one bit, you know? They've got a lot to gain from this sale, not just financially, but also in terms of control over the city. It's like they're trying to buy their way into being the top dog in Detroit . And what about all those donations Mike Duggan received from DTE Energy executives? Coincidence? I don't think so .

This whole thing just reeks of a cover-up, if you ask me. The city should be advocating for its tenants, not just sitting back and letting corporations run roughshod over the community . We need to keep an eye on this one, folks... it's gonna get ugly .
